Using simple templates participants drew, personalised, cut-out and formed houses, shops, trees, cars and cycles to create a giant dream city, filled with houses, parks, airports, roads, bridges, a river, a wind farm and even a castle or two.
Working alongside the education department at the Museum of Childhood, designer - makers Patrick Letshcka, Oliver Russell and Mark Lewis, and student volunteers from Sir John Cass department of Art Media and Design the project linked three of the many creative 'drop-in' creative workshops at the Museum of Childhood. These and other drawing events across venues and parks in the east end of London formed the national launch of the Big Draw in 2007.
